SchoolHQ is mobile app, created using the Glide app platform, that allows you to digitize the flow of information to families from the school or admin level.

Why Use This App?

  • Glide allows you to create an app with a Google Sheet--No coding required!
  • Fully customizable with your school's information
  • Add or delete tabs and features to fit the needs of your school
  • Allows the same communication for all families from the school or admin level
  • Add other languages in your media
  • Lots of tutorials and guidance through the Gide app website
  • App hosted through Glide for free--No app store approval process
  • Families can add the app to their phone home screen using link or QR code
  • App can be updated throughout the school year. Changes are pushed out to users without reloading the app
  • App hosted and managed locally at your site by someone you designate--no software developer or company needed.
